W HEN a gallon of varnish is worth
$50 and can be bought for $5, the
fact is worth knowing.
Read This
In 1895 John B. Oblinger, of Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, built the finest residence in
town. His architect selected magnificent
specimens of walnut, mahogany, hazel,
cherry and white oak for the interior trim.
It was varnished with Berry Brothers'
Luxeberry Wood Finish, the original Hard
Oil, and rubbed.
Today there are few homes in America
that have more beautiful woodwork than
this one. In 30 years it has not been
touched with a varnish brush. The finish
is as perfect as it was in the days before
the Spanish-American War.
The floors in this house were finished with
Liquid Granite Floor Varnish. Some of
them have been refinished in recent years.
But the floor in the reception hall, as pic
ured above, has never been re-varnished and
is in beautiful condition today!
Mr. Oblinger's experience with Berry
Brothers' varnishes is neither unusual nor
exceptional. There are thousands of
home, apartment and building owners in all
parts of the world who pay the price for
Berry quality in order to save the tremen
dous accumulative expense of frequent
refinishing.
Here Is Another Example
William Goodes, of Flint, Michigan, built
his home in 1898 and finished the white
oak woodwork with Liquid Granite. A
view of the staircase is pictured above at
the right. It shows the original varnish.
Even the stair steps have never been refin
ished. Not a single hairline crack can be
found anywhere. The finish is as beautiful
today as when the painters completed their
work 27 years ago!
Mr. Goodes writes: "Your advertisement,
which says, 'Liquid Granite is more than
waterproof-it wears!' is certainly true!"
Figure it out for yourself. If Luxeberry
Wood Finish and Liquid Granite give
such service as this, you cannot afford to
employ substitutes that sell for the same
price or less.
